Oregon Football was embarrassed in week 1 against the Georgia Bulldogs, but that outcome does not mean the 2022 season is destined to end as a total failure/disappointment. The Ducks can still achieve a lot in 2022 with 2 non-conference games left (including #21 BYU) before conference play. For Oregon to be successful the rest of the season, the one thing they will need will have to come on both the coaching staff and from players: individual leaders to bring the team through this (hopefully brief) rough patch.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by Rian Winter (@SportsChat503) to discuss how the Ducks can move forward and succeed in Dan Lanning's first season at the helm. RB Sean Dollars talked about how in 2019 after a season-opening loss to Auburn in Dallas, a game Oregon should have won, the Ducks drew on leadership from players like Justin Herbert and Troy Dye to help propel them to an eventual Pac-12 Championship and Rose Bowl victory. Rian shares his thoughts on who some of those players might be for the Ducks in 2022.

This week's game against a good FCS team in Eastern Washington presents an opportunity for the Ducks' players to get some of there swagger back. Oregon is heavily favored, as they should be, and the first step to a successful 2022 season for Oregon is beating this team like they should. Finally, Rian discusses what he saw from Bo Nix in week 1 against Georgia and what to expect from the Oregon quarterback going forward.
